Is the Dogman a myth, a government experiment, or something darker?

In this deep dive, we peel back the layers of the "Beast of Bray Road" and the Michigan Dogman. We aren't just telling campfire stories; we are analyzing the evidence. From the journalistic investigations of Linda Godfrey to the terrifying 1936 Mark Schackelman encounter, we examine the biology of a 7-foot bipedal predator.

In this episode:

• The Government File: What is "Project Silverback" and why are there reports of military scrub teams at encounter sites?

• The Hoaxes: The truth behind the Steve Cook song and the infamous Gable Film.

• The Biology: How "digitigrade" legs explain the impossible movement of these creatures.

• The Supernatural: Is the Dogman a biological entity or a "Gugwe" spirit guardian?

Join us as we walk the line between skepticism and the terrifying data that suggests we are not alone in the woods.

This isn't just a story about a serial killer; it’s a story about why he was allowed to operate.

In this deep dive, we uncover the devastating findings of the "Forsaken" report and the horrific crimes of Robert Pickton. How did a pig farmer on the outskirts of Vancouver murder 49 women over a decade while police dismissed the victims as "driftwood"?

We break down the shocking concept of "Linkage Blindness," the jurisdictional war between the VPD and RCMP, and the heartbreaking story of "Mrs. Anderson"—the woman who escaped Pickton in 1997, only to have her testimony ignored.

In this episode:

• The "Nobodies" Doctrine: Why police viewed sex workers and Indigenous women as expendable.

• The 1997 Incident: The blood-soaked escape that should have ended Pickton’s reign years early.

In 1962, a medical anomaly occurred that defied every law of biology and physics. Identical twins Bobby and Betty Eller were found dead in separate, locked hospital wards at almost the exact same moment. No poison, no foul play, and no medical explanation.

In this episode of The Cat Black Podcast, we explore the "forced sameness" of their childhood, the psychological phenomenon of enmeshment, and the chilling "Impossible Geometry" found in their final moments. Was it a biological sympathy, or a connection that transcends the physical world?

Is something hunting us in the National Parks, or is the wilderness simply indifferent?

In this deep dive, we hike into the uncanny valley of the Missing 411 phenomenon. We peel back the layers of David Paulides’ research, investigating the terrifying accounts of people who vanished within seconds—often just feet away from their families.

What happens when the government decides you don't exist anymore?

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we uncover the terrifying and bizarre world of the "Living Dead"—people who are biologically alive but legally certified as deceased.

We break down the shocking true story of Richard Hoagland, an Indiana father who abandoned his family, stole a dead fisherman’s identity, and lived a double life in Florida for 23 years. We also explore the darker side of bureaucracy, where a simple typo by the Social Security Administration can freeze your bank accounts and erase your identity overnight.

What happens when a man vanishes into the "shadow economy" of a Caribbean island? And what happens when we find the missing, but no one comes to claim them?

In this episode of Deep Dive, we connect three seemingly unrelated documents to uncover a harrowing reality. We start with the mysterious 2025 disappearance of Thomas Vasquez from a marijuana farm in Antigua—a case that exposes the terrifying gaps in international safety nets.

Then, we crack open the NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System) Report, revealing shocking statistics that defy pop-culture narratives (like why the majority of the missing are actually men). Finally, we head to Oregon to examine the SPIRE Grant, looking at the futuristic "Rescue Robots"—like thermal drones and EMILY the robotic lifeguard—being deployed to solve these tragedies.

We discuss:

• The "Jurisdictional Black Hole" of tribal vs. federal land.

• How thermal imaging is changing search and rescue.

• The heartbreaking reality of the "Unclaimed"—18,000+ identified bodies that families simply cannot afford to bury.

Join us as we explore whether our technology is outpacing our humanity.

• 00:00 - Intro: Connecting a Caribbean mystery to Oregon bureaucracy.

• 02:15 - The Case of Thomas Vasquez: Vanishing from a "Shadow Farm" in Antigua.

Is it the lack of technology, or just human error? In this episode, we take a chilling journey through 160 years of American mystery. We’re deep-diving into the cases that defined—and defied—the evolution of forensics. From the sweltering heat of New York in 1841 to the Great Depression-era "Hobo Jungles" of Cleveland, we explore how social class, media frenzies, and sheer police incompetence allowed the world’s most notorious killers to slip into the shadows.

Inside this episode:

• The Beautiful Cigar Girl: How the "Penny Press" turned a 1841 murder into America's first interactive reality show.

• Lizzie Borden’s 40 Wacks: Why social status acted as the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.

• The Axeman’s Jazz: The night an entire city played music to stay alive.

• The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run: How the legendary Eliot Ness met his match in a shanty town killer.

• Forensic "Firsts": The 1968 Arctic exhumation that used hair analysis to solve a 100-year-old poisoning.

We aren't just playing armchair detective; we’re looking at the friction between the search for truth and the obstacles of the time. Turn down the lights and lock your doors—this is a deep dive into the cases that still keep detectives up at night.
